Did you read the article? I'm assuming you did.. but really? You don't need to dumb it down for everyone. Underneath the hood it is STILL LINUX. The advanced users can STILL modify to their hearts content.. Joe Public just wants one version, doesn't want to update kernels or try out beta software like the "hardcore" folks. I'm assuming it would be quite easy to have the installer for a distro to give the user options as to what type of install they would like to do.. like a PNP type install or a base install that let's Mr. Expert build his machine fromt he base up.
I would love to use Linux but I when none of the installs will even detect and install my Genius Netmouse pro, even with generic drivers.. well sheez.. that tells me it's going to be a hell of a lot harder to install something like my network adapter and get it all setup for @Home.. with the Windows line all I have to do is put my computer name in and it hooks me up in an instant.. and my mouse works too ;) ..
Anyway, I think your statement was quite shortsited. Stop and think and you'll realize that there can be releases for every distro with different installation options and configurations available.
